Hi, this is my first experience with flashcarts, and it's driving me nuts. I'm helping a friend do this.

He has an R4-III (don't ask my why) and a 3-in-1 (the DealExtreme ones, ordered like a few months ago). We're trying to load mother 3 but after wiping the NOR and writing to it, it'll allow me to run (and latter even recognises there's a Mother 3 file on there) but doesn't boot it. It just brings up a window, flashes the GAMEBOY logo, and then freezes.

Does he have a bad 3-in-1 pack? I might be able to try another one that was shipped with but I really hope it's not that. It doesn't seem like it.

Thanks for your help!

EDIT: I've heard that newer 3-in-1 "+" units have buggier NOR flash. Is this what's wrong? Should I contact DX and get a new unit?
